Part 2 Programs
Chapter 4 Key Characteristics of Actuator Control Commands and Points to Note
1. Continuous Movement Commands
[PATH, CIR, ARC, PSPL, CIR2, ARC2, ARCD, ARCC]
(1) By running a program with continuous movement commands input in a series of continuous
program steps, you can allow the actuators to perform operations continuously without stopping
between steps.
PATH 1 5
ARC2 6 7
PATH 8 12
(2) Continuous movement through positions is possible even when the specified positions are not
continuous.
To do this, specify each discontinuous position number as both the start position number and end
position number in a PATH command. In the example, position No. 6 is discontinuous.
Move continuously through position Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9 and 10 in this order.
PATH 1 4
PATH 6 6 (Discontinuous position)
PATH 9 10
(3) Continuous movement will not be achieved if an input condition is specified for any continuous
movement command.
PATH 1 5
20 ARC2 6 7
PATH 8 12
(4) The output field of each command will turn ON as the end position of that command approaches.
Only with the last command in a series of continuous movement commands, the output will turn
ON upon completion of operation (if there is no input condition).
Stops momentarily.
